Sorry, my post above has nothing to do with the Extended ROM. I'm saying that when you take an OEM off the web site here and cook it in the Unified ROM Kitchen, attempting to copy a file or shortcut into a nonexistent directory on your Pocket PC via an initflashfiles.txt entry will cause your device to hang at the boot screen.

The Extended ROM should have nothing to do with hanging at first boot after a hard reset. The Extended ROM is not touched until after you get past the boot screen and perform the welcome steps (screen calibration, date, etc.). In any case, if your Extended ROM is empty that won't have any bearing on your device at all. There is no initflashfiles.txt in the Extended ROM (at least not on Verizon; I can't speak to the other carriers but it seems unlikely).
